  1. Working for someone else when you have spare time
  2. It's taken me 6 1/2 years to get busy and that includes doing next to nothing in Jan and Feb.
  3. How long have you been trading hamdogg?
  4. If you employ these people you must have work for them already?
  5. Would this one be any good? [ame]https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00002N801/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1447956334&sr=8-1π=SX200_QL40&keywords=wood+grenade&dpPl=1&dpID=31cZRyr9fKL&ref=plSrch[/ame]
  6. Thanks for the tips the thing in the picture look useful. I will get one and try it !
  7. Hi I'm after some advice please. I've got loads of wood to cut and split but it's been drying for months/years so cutting is fine but I'm struggling to split with an axe. Is the anything I could use to help. Just hand tools not worth buying a splitter for unless that's the only way. Thanks all
  8. I'll swop it for a ms170 that needs a new oiler👍
  9. Just chip it down it'll be alright ........... Maybe-
  10. I would not door knock either. Tried leaflets years ago as well did not do much for me! As others have said stop worrying about what others make. It may be true that they make big money it may not be true. But whatever they make is irrelevant it's what you make that counts!! Keep going as someone said work cheap ish to start with as you need to get your name out there. I think you need a full set up to charge top money.
  11. Thanks I'm not trying to be confrontational either. That's the bad thing about me writing on forums I can come across a bit blunt!! I can see why a van not a Range Rover works better though. 👍
  12. How can you say your battered van gains you work? It's just another point of view do your clients say I picked you because you have a ratty old van?
  13. Maybe then again I run a new truck (3 months old) I find I gains me work as it looks professional.
  14. Are you sure your mates are really making that rate per day?
  15. Love that how powerful is the engine and what weight is it?
  16. All trucks don't do it I ran an l200 for 5 years and it never did it. My dad has run rangers for 6 years no trouble and he had a navara as well again no trouble . I'm on a navara now and six months in no problems. Argue until it's fixed
  17. It may cost more than £40 I'm just guessing on cost in relation other steel I've had machined at the place I go to. The guy run his metalwork shop in conjunction with the fabricators. I know the guy and any stuff he does for me he does on his lunch break so it takes time!
  18. You should be able to get one made for about £40 I suspect. I use a place local to me and I need to go if you could give me exact dimensions/sketch I could ask while I'm there.
  19. Also known as that's ******* spiky!!
  20. I like them too got to keep on top of them though as you say
  21. I've got a church yard I look after the grass cutting and hedges etc. Usually about 7-8 weeks before payment. I asked why such delays and he claimed the church was a small charity!!!
